The Daredevil has won the DL Prediction Game 2025.

Wow, he did it again: @The Daredevil has won the DL Prediction Game for a second time after 2023! Congratulations! Welcome to the illustrious group of double winners! Overall it must be said that we have a very good result here! With one exception, only positive values and very, very high ones at that. I checked all the results at least twice and of course there were minor errors here and there. Hopefully I have found them all now and have been able to correct them, at some point the numbers blur before your eyes... If minor errors do occur in the lower ranks, they will not change the result anyway. I then checked the top 5 of the ranking separately to ensure that I could provide a correct result. Nevertheless, even here, minor calculation errors would not lead to a different winner, as the gap is very large, but I think eveything is right. Well predicted, Daredevil! As always, thank you for playing along! About every two months I will compile the hits for the sidekick game, which will not go into the DL Hall of Fame. The result of the DL Predictions Game: +113 The Daredevil +95 LizLemon +95 Sean +93 wannamaker +92 TomTomTelekom +74 Summer In Transylvania +72 Grimgrass +71 Prophet +65 WEP +63 arghton +58 msc +55 Book +49 Lord Insomnio +48 Bobytomi +47 gcreptile +46 livingbygrace +39 Bibliogryphon +37 Sleepiestpeep +27 Dying Probably +24 YoungWillz +21 BuffaloPhil +18 Etushispushingupdaisies +08 TheOldCrem +01 diego -12 theoldlady

I am so sorry to hear this. I wish you and your family a lot of strength, power and solidarity to overcome this loss and shock.

Congratulations my friend, that was close!

Thank you for the great review of the year - and congratulations to Thatcher as the winner of the DDP!

German CSU-politician Oscar Schneider has died on 29th of December at the age of 97. From 1982 to 1989 he was the Minister of Housing, Urban Development and Building during the Helmut Kohl government. But it is more important to mention that he was on our D-A-CH list of 2022. https://www.antenne.de/nachrichten/bayern/frueherer-bundesbauminister-oscar-schneider-gestorben

Last Update: This is quick: In December there was only one hit and every player has that special hit, including the DL. Yes, I'm talking about Jimmy Carter of course. And that's why the result is still the same and I can declare @Etushispushingupdaisies the winner of the sidekick game (which will not be inducted into the DL Hall of Fame). You have the most hits with 12, congratulations Perhaps a quick comparison: 2024 did not pass us by without a trace. Here there are a total of 31 hits and the sidekick winner has 12; in 2023 there were 43 hits in total and 22 for the sidekick winner. OK, now let's look forward to a new year with a new DL and a new Prediction King or Queen to be crowned in a few days. The Hits: 01.

Experience has shown that there are so many small sources of error, which is why I must and will take my time and be calm with the evaluation. Otherwise there will be chaos, we have already had all that

Just for your information: I will be evaluating the Prediction Game at the weekend, so please don't expect any results in the next two or three days. Thank you for your patience.
